May Scion 2e Update!
almost 3 years ago – Fri, May 28, 2021 at 04:30:11 PM

Hello Scion Backers!

RichT here:


We at Onyx Path hope that you are all keeping safe and healthy as we  starting working through 2021! In case you missed it before, the big  Scion news was our signing with a team to develop a Scion TV show!

Here’s the link to the announcement: http://theonyxpath.com/announcement-scion-tv/

Right now, the team at Jenkins & Tate are working on the Production Bible, which basically breaks out the concepts and themes, characters, antagonists, etc - all the things needed before writing  the proposed pilot script. These are Needed Things before going into production, but also helpful in pitching the show to one of the streaming venues.

I'm hoping that next month I'll have some cool pics to share of a show prop!


Here are the current Scion projects we're working on!

Scion: God 2e - First Drafts

Tasty Bit: Car Lifting Competition - First Drafts

No Gods, No Masters - Second Drafts (I got this confused with Realms of M&M last month, sorry)

Wild Hunt - Development

Once and Future - Post-Approval Development

Realms of Magic and Mystery (was Terra Incognita) - Editing and Art Direction

Saints And Monsters - Editing and Art Direction

Scion Fiction Anthology - Editing

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/358737/Zeus-We-Just-Wanna-Talk


NOW ON KICKSTARTER!

Launched today on Kickstarter, another way of interacting with Exalted Third Edition.

Exalted Essence is a streamlined version of Exalted Third Edition, designed to welcome new players and reintroduce old friends to the world of Creation. It contains all the mechanics and advice players and Storytellers need to run complete games of Exalted Essence, though setting material and character, place, and creature ideas can be supplemented by the core line’s content.

All the material in the book is compatible with Exalted Third Edition, so new and established fans can collect the core line’s books and use them with a beginner-friendly and less mechanically dense system. Inside you will find:

  • Rules for creating all 10 Exalt types: Solars, Dragon-Blooded, Lunars, Exigents, Sidereals, Abyssals, Infernals, Getimians, Liminals, and Alchemicals.
  • A brief overview of Creation, so players and Storytellers can dive right in.
  • Rules for Universal and Exalt-specific Charms, Artifacts, Martial Arts, Sorcery and Necromancy, and more!
  • Advice for running and playing Exalted with mixed parties or same-Exalt parties, in multiple interesting styles of play.

Remember, this is not a new Edition - it's a new Addition.

March Scion Update!

Hello Scion Backers!

RichT here:

We at Onyx Path hope that you are all keeping safe and healthy as we starting working through 2021! The big Scion news here was just announced yesterday:

Here’s the link to the announcement: http://theonyxpath.com/announcement-scion-tv/


For those who want the short take on this rather than the official announcement: Onyx Path has signed an agreement with a company called Jenkins & Tate for them to develop a pitch for a live-action Scion TV show that they will put in front of TV venues like Netflix and Amazon.  Hopefully, one of those venues will pick up the series and then after  the shows are made you (and all of us) will be able to see it!


So this is the beginning of possible good stuff!

OUR CURRENT CROWDFUNDED PROJECT!

After the explosion of Doctor Sir Calvin Hammersmith’s “telluric engine” early in the 20th century, people the world over begin to demonstrate extraordinary capabilities. Stalwart individuals with the strength to pull a safe from a wall, or the quickness of hand to pluck a bullet from the air. Mesmerists with the ability to cloud mens’ minds or see visions of distant places. Valiant daredevils with unparalleled skill or luck. Collectively called the Inspired, the newly-formed Æon Society for Gentlemen is on a mission to guide the Inspired, catalog telluric phenomena, and shepherd humanity to a better place.

Trinity Continuum: Adventure! is the next edition of the pulp action game Adventure!, originally released in 2001. This new edition features mechanics that are both flexible and fast as well as new Inspired powers. While the setting is quite similar to the original edition’s, it has been newly updated to better fit into the overall Continuum setting and encourage heroic roleplaying.

NOW CROWDFUNDING ON KICKSTARTER! CHECK IT OUT!

Hello Scion Backers!

RichT here:

We at Onyx Path hope that you are all keeping safe and healthy as we starting working through 2021!

Here are links to the Scion 2e LARP Rules Backer PDFs!

If you recall, one of our Stretch Goals during this Kickstarter was for Onyx Path to work with one of the companies that, at the time, were pitching us their ideas for Live Action Roleplaying rules. 


Well, after many iterations, we have the PDFs ready and have prepared links to them - there's one for Scion: Origin level play, and one for Scion: Hero level play. There are also links to their errata forms for any of you who are able to take the time and report back to us on any errors you might find.


Scion: Origin LARP backer PDF: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?discount=90647911e6

Scion: Origin LARP errata form: https://forms.gle/ngb7LjSCJKwAFQLr5


Scion: Hero LARP backer PDF: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?discount=96a6a37c0e

Scion: Hero LARP errata form: https://forms.gle/j9r8VPVzZEufQY2R7


We hope everybody enjoys these two PDFs, and that we're all coming to a time where folks can give these a try in a LARPing environment. After we go through the errata process, we'll  create the PoD version and offer it for sale on DTRPG along with the final PDFs. Please let DTRPG know if you have any problems downloading the PDFs.


Thanks for your support with the original Scion 2e KS!


ONE WEEK TO GO FOR M20 VICTORIAN AGE!

M20 Victorian Age provides advice and material for running your Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition chronicles amid the tumult of the Victorian  era, as the Order of Reason rises to power and the Traditions falter.

Within this book you will also find a details of the state of the  great magickal powers in this era: the Order of Reason, preparing for  their metamorphosis into the Technocratic Union and riding upon the  great beast of Empire; the Council of Nine, now merely eight, caught in  infighting and looking for a new peer; and the Crafts, the manifold  practices of magick across the world, who fight to save their peoples  from conquest and exploitation.

In addition, M20: Victorian Age includes an  examination of life as a magus in the stratified society of Imperial  Britain and the wider empire; rules reflecting the difference in how  magick works during this age, when the Consensus of the Technocracy has  yet to enfold the globe; and a gazetteer of the Victorian world,  touching on cultures and conflicts across the globe as empires struggle  for dominance and the masses struggle simply to survive.

As with everything in the world of Mage: The Ascension, reality is shifting and you can't expect things to be as they always have been. We're running this M20: Victorian Age crowdfunding campaign a little differently. Check out Onyx Path's announcement post for more details, and I hope to see you there!
